Uses of
BIO DIESEL |
|
• Biodiesel is a renewable and sustainable
resource and if correctly managed avoids using the planet's dwindling resources.
• The use of biodiesel can reduce the emission of carbon dioxide
– the main gas responsible for global warming.
• It is virtually sulphur free.
• Biodiesel is beneficial in environmentally sensitive
applications, such as waterways, due to the biodegradable nature
of the fuel and low emissions.
• It is safer than mineral diesel due to its high flash point.
• Customer tests show improved fuel efficiency delivering
more miles per litre resulting in significant economic benefits.
• Improved engine performance/higher cetane level.
• Biodiesel can be easily blended with mineral diesel with no
need to alter either the logistics of the fuel supply chain or
calibrations of diesel engines.
• Lubricity can be lost with ultra low sulphur mineral diesel as
a consequence of the removal of sulphur, and an additive is
required to replace it. Biodiesel’s natural lubricity reduces or
eliminates the need for this additive and delivers smoother
running and increased engine life.
• Biodiesel acts as an oxygenating additive improving the
blend’s efficiency of combustion. This ensures that a blended
fuel delivers improved performance and reduced emissions more
efficiently than pure biodiesel or pure mineral diesel.
• Those advantages are already recognized in other countries
such as Austria where biodiesel is widely used. For example, the
city of Graz in Austria has its municipal bus fleet fuelled by
biodiesel.
